As a follow-up: I've added a header matching rule to try to catch 
these messages before they hit the list (causing the message to
require manual approval from a moderator). This will also cause 
replies to be filtered accordingly - further follow-ups to vacation 
messages flagged in this way will *not* be approved. In the case
of a message failing the header match, please *do not* reply to it.

Whilst we want to maintain an open list environment, this type of
noise is so off-topic I feel that it should be treated as a special
case. Questions or comments are welcome off-list to my address.

So warning idiots of their grave lack of security clue is off-topic 
for a "full disclosure" computer security mailing list?

Interesting...

Will the next "improvement" be a Bugtraq-like "wait some random 
period between 48 and 96 hours before forwarding messages for 
moderation"??


Regards,

Nick FitzGerald
